Location: nixa mo | I know how very minor this is in the grand scheme of things, but my baby Noah has to start preschool. My very dear sister in law has decided to return to work  . We have an interview tomorrow at what appears to be a very nice preschool, any advice? Noah is somewhat excited, I'm in tears off and on, and Dad is somewhat confused with me.  |

Location: Vancouver, Canada | Sending our "babies" off to Preschool is daunting - hey, no one can look after them as well as us, and family right?? 
I'm sure Noah will do great - make sure you have all your questions ready, and all Noah's medical info for the staff.
Good luck

Location: Phoenix, Oregon | First I would say not to let him see how hard this is on you. It will just make it that much harder on him. You want him to want to go, even thou it is hard and you really want him with family. Second make sure they have the medical training and skills needed to take care of your Noah, and lastly BREATH, it will all be ok.

Location: Orange County, CA | This is a scary time but actually more on you then him and the kids end up doing fine. I can recall so many yrs ago when I had to make that decision too. Cole also was always cared for by family (his grammas) but before kindergarten started I wanted him to go to preschool for a few days a wk so he would be used to other kids, people, school setting,etc.. and kindergarten would not be so hard. Well after much much worry it all turned out fine and Cole loved it! Like everyone else has said definitely your big issue is making sure they are all aware of all the medical issues and any special needs he needs. Over the years Cole has even gone on to other after school clubs/daycare too part time and it all worked out great too. I just always made sure they were aware of his medical situation and how to handle it.
Good luck and I am sure Noah will do just fine. Oh and for sure try not to let him see you worry as that could make it harder for him-let him see how much fun it will be. |

Location: nixa mo | Thank you all. I know now this is much harder for me than Noah. During the tour he jumped right in and started playing and it turns out the 3 yr old teacher is a nurse and didn't seem a bit bothered by my "restrictions" for Noah or any of the special stuff I asked about. There are a few other kids with special needs also so that made me feel better too. Praying all goes well for us or mainly me. Thanks again it helps to know I'm not the only mom that worries. |
